Mary Mapes v. The Truth, Part 2
On Web sites such as Powerline, INDC Journal, Allahpundit, and Spacetownusa, the bravehearts of the blogging world worked anonymously in what appeared to be huge numbers, in unison, to destroy the Bush-Guard story, to uphold one another’s wild and hateful claims, to outshout, outargue, and outblog anyone who dared to disagree.
The truth, as reported by “anonymous” blogger Bill Ardolino:
Even in forced retirement, Mapes continues her legacy of accuracy, as neither Powerline, nor Spacetown, nor INDC Journal worked anonymously during the scandal. I invite everyone to revisit my September archives and peruse the “wild and hateful claims” made by INDC. Good times.
Indeed. I’d suggest that someone sue her, but I doubt she has enough money left to make it worth your while.
Actually, there could be some worthwhile bucks out there in the offing. I understand Mary Mapes got a 6 figure advance.

Yeah, but at least it might shut her up, which would be worthwhile.
Dave (cee87d) — 11/10/2005 @ 8:43 pmNothing’s going to shut her up.
Patterico (4e4b70) — 11/10/2005 @ 8:58 pmLet her talk, the more she says the worse it gets for her, The Dan, and CBS. Also, since she was high up in the CBS news division, her excuses and double talk call the ethics and integrity of news organizations and professional MSM journalists into question. Their credibility has taken a big time hit, compliments of an obviously deranged Bush hater.
This woman’s number is up, and her former colleagues are going to have to turn on her, and The Dan. To save themselves, they have to denounce her and her cheap forgeries. Nothing less than a blood sacrifice will do to cleanse the iniquity.
